When the San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of fullback Kyle Juszczyk, general manager John Lynch said he viewed Juszczyk as an “OW” or offensive weapon. The plan was to get him involved in all phases of the offense. He spent the offseason involved in both the running back and tight end meeting rooms.
Through two games, we have not seen a lot of him in the skill position manner some might have thought. He has one rushing attempt and two receptions on four targets for 17 yards. On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about his relative absence when it comes to touches.
